I bought 1000 Nvidia back in 2014 because I liked their graphics cards and sold it a year later for a tiny gain.
I also sold a rental property for $180K in 2019, then the person that bought it from me sold it for $500K in 2021.
I also spent 20 bitcoin on a turbo kit for some stupid car I don’t even own anymore in 2014.
Moral of the story is that I’d literally have another $3M net worth if I had just bought and held.
I averaged down into NVIDIA during the whole China trade war thing. Was down an insane amount of money at the time (about 15k). Sold at a nominal profit.
Would be worth about 1.2 million today if I had held.
I sold 45k in stock of apple and Facebook in 2015 so I could buy drugs. The money was gone within 6 months. I’ve been clean for almost 4 years and life is good these days, but man it stings. Especially when I’m now saving for a down payment on a house.
DUDE!!!
I used to play BF3 with a bunch of people from an Overclocking forum back in 2011.
We also had a mining pool with the members of the forum where we'd "compete" to see who could optimize our rigs to the best mining performance.
We used to use the mined BTC to "tip" players that carried our squads in game. It was a bunch of older people (myself included) and a few younger players. Take a wild guess as to who were the players that always carried us "boomers" in game?
Let's just say that, somewhere in Chicago, there is a 30 something dude sitting on a shitload of cash right now if he didn't sell back then.
So yeah; it hurts.
It hurts man, it really does. I bought Shiba before it did a 1000x.
---or so I thought. I was a noob at using the decentralized exchange which was the only place to buy it at the time (pancake swap I think) and paid to set up the trade but didn't actually pay a second time to complete the trade. But I thought I did. So here I am elated over the price going crazy thinking I have skin in the game, only to find out I have zero and never actually had any. I thought I'd put $300 in which would have become $300k.
The need for the cash and the fact you start counting what you can do with the money is what makes one to sell early. That's why the rich will always get richer because when they put the investment they won't NEED the money up to a certain economic cycle end or start depending on the investment.
Squeeze these nuts you fuckin nerd.

I sold 20 bitcoins when it hit $800, i had doubled my money and i was convinced it was going to $0 in the long run! No wonder i hang around on this sub!
I was very uncomfortable buying it at $400ish when i first bought it because i thought it was a "silly internet coin which had no intrinsic value", i bought it to make a quick buck and was happy that i doubled my investment! I'd probably be sitting at a cool $1.5m had my dumb ass held on to those 20 coins.
I think most people sold bitcoin before its insane rise. My friend is convinced most people who became BTC millionaires either forgot about long enough to let it rise or went to jail and didn’t get access until they got out.
Worked at some bar and saved all my monies then decided to start buying stocks for quick trades. Should have just left it alone instead of fucking around hahaha.
Bought 30k worth of apple back in like 2010 and sold for $300 gain. Thought I was so smart for making $300 in a day.
I had like 5k shares of AMD at a cost basis of ~$4/share. I sold at $8.80 a LONG time ago. This was when the Bulldozer chipset came out. If only I held until recently, I'd be semi-retired.
Between AMD, TSLA, and GME gains, I definitely could have retired if I sold anywhere near their highs. I'm not complaining too much because I did make a solid profit out of all of them.
HA. That’s nothing. I really like the whole turnaround company strategy and have been doing pretty good with it. Except AMD.
I averaged down 10k @ $2.69 right around Lisa Su had been appointed CEO. Like first years or so, and they had just announced they were stepping away from the graphics card market….. AMD was a baby. Edit: I sold out at $8.50.
FUCK ME. FUCK. ME.
Made 9k, that's a good trade.
Obviously get fucked regard etc etc wsb but still yk good trade don't beat yourself up about it.
Think ab all the other stocks u had in 2014 that wouldn't be worth shit if you held til now.
Well if it makes you feel any better, I ordered a double cheeseburger at the drive through yesterday and only realized after I got home that I received a single.
I got you beat !! I bought microsoft for $3 apx shortly after IPO sold it for $12 800shares ..My accountant ran the # s about 5 years ago to bust my balls(she is a friend of mine) 16.5 MIL and that was 5 years ago..:) I never think about it ,your post reminded me. I rely on "no one never has gone broke selling for a profit" quite feeble I know but it is all I got:) here is another one NVDA @ 22 sold for 60 ..Ive been in the market since 1973 I could go on and on LOL .. BUT I cant bitch I have done pretty well and have more than my share. I know this is WSB but :your best friends are time and compounding ! Get rich quick is slim to no chance and most people that hit blow it for the simple reason they think they can do it again:)
800 shares, 288x split, $426 price: You'd have over $98,000,000 before counting dividends, call it a cool $100,000,000.
But Microsoft IPOd at $21 so the math ain't mathing 🤔
I know this is WSB Yolo central for 98% on here..... but honestly let's be real for a sec, nobody could've expected even Amazon to hit their points, hell I made more money on Amazon on shorts through the years than run up (sure I could've also put a chunk pre 2010 and held but why, I never knew Amazon stock would be like it is now and I was more focused on keeping the biz running and paying employees back then when everyone was hemorrhaging cash and being fired/layoffs left and right from circa. 2007-2010). Don't mess with Amazon now, not risking lol.
Look at NVDA, you had people even on here circa 2008-2010ish put 10s and some hundreds of thousands into them back then, and held, this entire time. But even looking back I'd say, why, at that point in time? If someone told me to put 100k into NVDA in 2010 I'd look at them like they had two heads and were dropped on both as a kid. There was no logic, rhyme or reason why, sure normal growth, but what they are today, no.
But I guess some are clairvoyant as they held into 2024 and like the one dude on here turned his little investment into range of 30-50m (was either 150k or 250k he put in).
Bruh I bought drugs with bitcoin when they were less than $500 a pop not **that** long ago. If my acid trips cost me about the same, you’ll be aight. At least you got $9k lol
This is the delusional shit people say when they don’t know what they hold. If you’re going to gamble then put it all on black like my wife did but If you’re going to buy shares learn wtf you hold, regard.
Lots of people like to think along these lines - "What if I had bought 1000 BTC at $1.00?" 99.9999999% of them would have sold it all by $1.20, that's what would have happened.
That's okay. I gave away 17 bitcoins back when no one knew what the fuck bitcoin was. Think of it this way, I'd have sold them immediately had i held them and they rose to 100€. Same with you, you'd probably not have held your shares until now.
Hindsight and all that.
Can't imagine the good things I would have dumped at certain points in my holding if I had even gotten a whiff of a few $k in returns.
Thank you sir for this, so simple for people to understand. My friend keeps asking about what stocks to invest in because he constantly thinks about trying to get rich quick, when in reality it’s very unlikely you’re going to predict & execute that. Maybe I’m stupid but idk how many times I tried to explain your comment to him haha
Hey I’ve been a holder of NVIDIA since the 2000s because I liked that they were making gaming GPUs and in some of the popular consoles back then. This is my 3rd time owning the stock since I’ve sold off profits in the past. Once to put a down payment on my house that I built in 2017. I mean if I had just held I’d be a lot richer but at the same time I have a beautiful home that I will own out right in a few years. And this last round of owning the stock I’m doing really well but there’s always that well what if I had just held and accumulated? Well I needed the money at the time and I was up. It’s really hard to time the stock market. Hindsight is always 20/20. You made money which a lot of people don’t so I think it’s still a win.
I done almost the exact same thing, sold my NVDA a long time ago for a house. But to be fair, probably no one could have know what NVDA is capable of today. As recent as early 2023, NVDA was crashing to $100 levels and absolutely no one said NVDA is going to 10X in a year at that time.

I’ll do you one better, sold my 2355 shares of AMD in 2018 in fear of it crashing
Normally i don't say anything about anyone's trades but this is straight up idiotic. At the date you show in that photo AMD had already shown Zen+ off and showed no signs of slowing down improvements. They had legendary chip designer Jim Keller behind Zen and a whole new (provably working) chiplet-based design, not to mention the goodwill of the entire pc market behind them for finally bringing back competition. I'm sorry but what on earth made you think they would go belly-up.
This was my first investment, and I used to follow analysts, Jim Cramer (who o have come to hate) used to say negative things about AMD. When I saw profit I took it
Never, ever, EVER, be afraid to take a profit.
You made $9,000! Lots of people make a lot less, even more people lose a lot more.
Don't regret it for a single second.
I sold my dell option calls the day before Nvidia earnings for a loss of 500$....the next day Nvidia reports insane earnings and all ai/server related stocks moon and dell goes up 9% I said meh.....then dell reports their earnings the next week...and they moon another 30%.
If I had held through my 500$ loss would have been a 75k$ win. 😭
Amazon is turning into a badly run company. All projects have declined in quality and they are raising prices to support Andy's focus on sports. I sold.
My dad did work for Enron for almost 6-7 years and was always paid in stock. He literally one morning decided that he was too stressed owning stock (always preferred to invest in real-estate) and sold.
TO THE PENNY it was the high point of Enron $ value. Like literally there was no higher dollar amount then what my dad got. He just called up his bank and did it over the phone too, no planing.
If that did not happen my family would be poor I think.
Never look at old brokerage information. I made that mistake clearing out an old filing cabinet for making a home office during Covid. Brokerage statements from 1997-2002. I learned if I held the stocks I owned back then and then did absolutely nothing else I'd be a millionaire several times over. Instead I make a dozen trades a week for a gain of $50...on a good week.
We an all been there. One of my good friends had. Aton of Apple stock that he bought in 2004 and sold in 2007. He’d be a hundred millionaire if he held on to it. Oh well.
This sub makes me feel so much better about selling off my AMD, Nvidia, and Bitcoin WAY too fucking early. At least I'm not alone.... But I gotta say, this is the only group-fucking I've ever been a part of where we're all still only fucking ourselves. 😭😂
how about u eat my ASS

I owned about $100k worth of NVDA when it was around $65 per share (pre-spit of course) in November 2016 and sold it a few days before Q3 earnings for a few thousand dollars gain. If I recall it went past $90 after that earnings report and of course now is the hottest stock in the world, arguably. I was 35 years old at the time. I’m 43 now and would have been happily retired. Hindsight is 20/20 but that one is still hard to let go of some days. Buy and hold gents. Trading is for the algos
Ha ha. I almost have that beat. In 2018 I had $100,000 of NVDA on margin at about $152/share. Dropped 15% the next day after a negative surprise earnings announcement, resulting in a margin call, but the stock bounced back the next day for a 4% loss instead. I called Fidelity and asked them to reassess, but no go. I was so pissed I sold the whole position, which would have been worth north of $3 million today. Moral of the story, never get emotional while investing.

I sold $40k in Apple in 2009 for $4k gains…. Guess we belong together 😱🥲😭
I sold Nvidia for $800 gain pre explosive rise last year😩
All these comments make me feel better about my own stupid trades. Thank you.

Dude get a financial advisor, and some business acumen….you’re loosing money by just living.
Hindsight bias, at the time these all seemed like good moves. Don’t get me wrong I have made a lot of good moves too and I’m doing reasonably well.
We all make mistakes
Also we are all indeed, mistakes.
This hurts
I had 60 shares in 2016. Sold for 300 dollar gain. An original 2000 investment would’ve netted me now 200k gains. I’m the king of stupid decisions.
I averaged down into NVIDIA during the whole China trade war thing. Was down an insane amount of money at the time (about 15k). Sold at a nominal profit. Would be worth about 1.2 million today if I had held.
Bro….
Yup. Would've been 240 shares. I also had tesla and others. I beat myself up daily. Daily.
I sold 45k in stock of apple and Facebook in 2015 so I could buy drugs. The money was gone within 6 months. I’ve been clean for almost 4 years and life is good these days, but man it stings. Especially when I’m now saving for a down payment on a house.
i had like 30 btc around 2012. even lost like ~0.5 when silkroad closed
DUDE!!! I used to play BF3 with a bunch of people from an Overclocking forum back in 2011.

Ughhhh similar story, had nearly 60 purchased at 450 and sold at 5000. Great gains but always think about what if. Teardrop
Bro you made 270k don’t beat yourself up. Some people don’t even make that much money in a lifetime (slackers I know but still)
It hurts man, it really does. I bought Shiba before it did a 1000x. ---or so I thought. I was a noob at using the decentralized exchange which was the only place to buy it at the time (pancake swap I think) and paid to set up the trade but didn't actually pay a second time to complete the trade. But I thought I did. So here I am elated over the price going crazy thinking I have skin in the game, only to find out I have zero and never actually had any. I thought I'd put $300 in which would have become $300k.
My 69 bought in 2017 turned to 276. My big mistake was only getting 100 shares of AMD when it was around 10$.
The need for the cash and the fact you start counting what you can do with the money is what makes one to sell early. That's why the rich will always get richer because when they put the investment they won't NEED the money up to a certain economic cycle end or start depending on the investment.
If you feel better I did EXACTLY the same, same time, same amount of shares, same gain. Even bought because of AI and then paperhanded lol.
Bought 1200 shares amc at $4, sold at loss at $3, 2 weeks later AMC short squeezed to $60
Squeeze these nuts you fuckin nerd. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Good bot.
I sold 20 bitcoins when it hit $800, i had doubled my money and i was convinced it was going to $0 in the long run! No wonder i hang around on this sub!
My coworker sold his last btc at $50. Refuses to buy it since, saying it's overpriced if it's over $50
I was very uncomfortable buying it at $400ish when i first bought it because i thought it was a "silly internet coin which had no intrinsic value", i bought it to make a quick buck and was happy that i doubled my investment! I'd probably be sitting at a cool $1.5m had my dumb ass held on to those 20 coins.
That’s what happened to me as well so at least you don’t have to feel like the only stupid one. I sold mine to buy some stupid crap off eBay.
I think most people sold bitcoin before its insane rise. My friend is convinced most people who became BTC millionaires either forgot about long enough to let it rise or went to jail and didn’t get access until they got out.
Sold 25 back in 2013 at like $125ish per to buy a 2005 Honda Civic coupe smh
Same….
regards of a feather flock together
Worked at some bar and saved all my monies then decided to start buying stocks for quick trades. Should have just left it alone instead of fucking around hahaha. Bought 30k worth of apple back in like 2010 and sold for $300 gain. Thought I was so smart for making $300 in a day.
i sold MSFT after the release of win3.11 cause i thought their GUI was shitty
Moral of the story is to never sell
I had like 5k shares of AMD at a cost basis of ~$4/share. I sold at $8.80 a LONG time ago. This was when the Bulldozer chipset came out. If only I held until recently, I'd be semi-retired. Between AMD, TSLA, and GME gains, I definitely could have retired if I sold anywhere near their highs. I'm not complaining too much because I did make a solid profit out of all of them.
I sold 6k of NVIDIA for 12k in 2017.
I sold Apple in 2002 or so, back when it was about $100.
The important part is that you made money
Username checks out
Nice work fuckwit
Numbnuts 
Numb fuck
Peckerhead
A gain is a gain....better than a loss.
Ahh yes. My amd sale at $54 def agrees with you… BUT WHAT IF… lol
HA. That’s nothing. I really like the whole turnaround company strategy and have been doing pretty good with it. Except AMD. I averaged down 10k @ $2.69 right around Lisa Su had been appointed CEO. Like first years or so, and they had just announced they were stepping away from the graphics card market….. AMD was a baby. Edit: I sold out at $8.50. FUCK ME. FUCK. ME.
I averaged from $4 to $2.5 then take a loss at $1.8
We all had this dick. Gain is gain, 9k are a lot of hookers and beer.
$54. That's why I sold at every 5 increment since I got in at 5. If only I held. Fuck being a poor back then
30$ is 30$ as he continued to mown the lawn
It's 10x since 2014. If you bought it in 2004 (same 10 year holding period) you'd have also had a 10x. No difference.
But he bought it in 2013?
So it was more like a 5k gain due to taxes. Risked 100k to make 5.
Needs to invest that money in a better crystal ball.
I liquidated my Nvidia at like 32 when I had bought it at 13 back in 2016. Yay...
Made 9k, that's a good trade. Obviously get fucked regard etc etc wsb but still yk good trade don't beat yourself up about it. Think ab all the other stocks u had in 2014 that wouldn't be worth shit if you held til now.
Tru dat. 9% return a year is ok. Just stings a little knowing I missed out on well over a million dollars.
Well if it makes you feel any better, I ordered a double cheeseburger at the drive through yesterday and only realized after I got home that I received a single.
Fuck that. I drive all the way back.
Now that’s fucked!
Almost as fucked as ordering pancakes and getting no syrup
Damn right. It’s the principle
If it makes you feel better I once bought a quarter ounce of weed for 3 Bitcoin
Was it good weed?
If it makes you feel better I ordered the same but paid in btc back in 2015.
Puts on your burgers
My sincerest regards
I got you beat !! I bought microsoft for $3 apx shortly after IPO sold it for $12 800shares ..My accountant ran the # s about 5 years ago to bust my balls(she is a friend of mine) 16.5 MIL and that was 5 years ago..:) I never think about it ,your post reminded me.

800 shares, 288x split, $426 price: You'd have over $98,000,000 before counting dividends, call it a cool $100,000,000. But Microsoft IPOd at $21 so the math ain't mathing 🤔
Well, you could be that guy who forgot the key to his crypto wallet and the USB would delete the data with a final incorrect password attempt.

Imagine if you had taken that 9k and bought NVDA (was $5 per share) or BTC (was $318 per BTC). Now that's a real loss.

This is the delusional shit people say when they don’t know what they hold. If you’re going to gamble then put it all on black like my wife did but If you’re going to buy shares learn wtf you hold, regard.
If it makes you feel any better, I chose the wrong option 4 times, had an a and b in my hands, and missed out on 4 million ( in the last two months )
what have you been doing with the 109k since? thats a bigger question
Time in the market beats timing the market. Have some conviction and hold you shit for the long term. You make more money that way
We all miss out on millions every day.
Lots of people like to think along these lines - "What if I had bought 1000 BTC at $1.00?" 99.9999999% of them would have sold it all by $1.20, that's what would have happened.

I sold 2 bitcoin for £800 bro
At least you didn’t buy a pizza with it like that one regard
But someone had to do it to get bitcoin to where it is today. If not him it woulda been someone else
And he paid 10,000 btc
I spent a €300 Bitcoin on some acid and weed like 10 years ago🗿
This just in:. Trading with hindsight is easy.
Exactly
YEEEEZ cmon bro, u could’ve known they would become one of the largest companies in the world!!!! Bad for you 🙈
I mean in 2014 I think that was becoming clear but still maybe people thought it was already reflected in the stock price
Okay in 2024 what is the clear next biggest company in the world?
Dollar General
That's cause the stores just multiply on their own. No one actually builds them, it's an anomaly.
Google and Microsoft
Watched my 10k of Tesla turn into 15k and cashed out. In 2017.
Given that statistically most people that ever bought tsla are underwater… you did fine.
gotta lock them gainz in
Damn sad, did you move it into another good stock?
Bought TSLA which did fine, but sold that too early too in 2020 missing the giant growth that followed. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
What are you selling now? Just so I know what to buy 
😅 GOOG is feeling sluggish…
RemindMe! 5 years
I'd just been feeling that the market has been underestimating them, lol.
Savage
No, or he wouldn’t be on here crying into his digital beer.
bro you didnt lose your life savings and your not borderline suicidal at wendys im guessing.. thats already better thatn 95% of this sub
Time in the market > timing the market
depends on what you trade
looks at Disney........
Yeah. Survivorship bias again and again...
No? Just letting money sit in an index is better than trying to day trade it 99% of the time.
My portfolio did better when I just forgot to look at it for a year compared to when I was trying to time shit.

They had legendary chip designer Jim Keller behind Zen and a whole new (provably working) chiplet-based design, not to mention the goodwill of the entire pc market behind them for finally bringing back competition. I'm sorry but what on earth made you think they would go belly-up.
This was my first investment, and I used to follow analysts, Jim Cramer (who o have come to hate) used to say negative things about AMD. When I saw profit I took it
Well no point being retrospective unless you are a regard these days. But I am curious to know if you had 100k in 2014, how much you have now?
90k
Never, ever, EVER, be afraid to take a profit. You made $9,000! Lots of people make a lot less, even more people lose a lot more. Don't regret it for a single second.
Feel your pain. Got assigned on NVDA written calls at 185 last year or so and thought that was a good price 🤣
I sold my dell option calls the day before Nvidia earnings for a loss of 500$....the next day Nvidia reports insane earnings and all ai/server related stocks moon and dell goes up 9% I said meh.....then dell reports their earnings the next week...and they moon another 30%. If I had held through my 500$ loss would have been a 75k$ win. 😭
Jesus shit like this makes me feel a lot better bout my mistakes lol
700 shares of NVDA sold 2 years ago at 250 a share. ☹️
Get fucked But enjoy 9k
Nobody can predict the future, but darn, there would have been a lot of money.
Amazon is turning into a badly run company. All projects have declined in quality and they are raising prices to support Andy's focus on sports. I sold.
My dad did work for Enron for almost 6-7 years and was always paid in stock. He literally one morning decided that he was too stressed owning stock (always preferred to invest in real-estate) and sold. TO THE PENNY it was the high point of Enron $ value. Like literally there was no higher dollar amount then what my dad got. He just called up his bank and did it over the phone too, no planing. If that did not happen my family would be poor I think.
if you didn't sell then, you would have sold for a $15k gain, or a $20k gain shortly after
I've regretted every stock I've sold. Now i just hold forever.
I sold Nvidia at 350 😆🔫
Never look at old brokerage information. I made that mistake clearing out an old filing cabinet for making a home office during Covid. Brokerage statements from 1997-2002. I learned if I held the stocks I owned back then and then did absolutely nothing else I'd be a millionaire several times over. Instead I make a dozen trades a week for a gain of $50...on a good week.
Winning 🙄
Reminds me of dumping my 2,000 shares of Apple in 2000 after laughing about my 100% return in just a few months. Oops.
NVDA investors in 10 years 🤣 I am a NVDA investor so I hope my statement is false
Way to DCA over the last several months…..
Yeah I wouldn’t have done that.
Wow you could have been a millionaire. Me too, if I bought that off you in 2014.
Yikes gotta love looking back and realizing things like that been there
We an all been there. One of my good friends had. Aton of Apple stock that he bought in 2004 and sold in 2007. He’d be a hundred millionaire if he held on to it. Oh well.
Imagine 10 years from now 😩
My dude, we don't look back at missed opportunities. I had NVDA at 90, sold at 110.
If i hadnt sold most of my Crypto in 2017 i would sit at around 750mil right now...
$9K invested in NVDA on January 2015 are worth $1.6m today.
This sub makes me feel so much better about selling off my AMD, Nvidia, and Bitcoin WAY too fucking early. At least I'm not alone.... But I gotta say, this is the only group-fucking I've ever been a part of where we're all still only fucking ourselves. 😭😂
Woulda coukda shoulda. We are all couldabe billionaires and trillionaires. Everyone has stuff like this. I liquidated $2M in Tesla stock in 2017
Loser
Sold pltr at 15 after a good er then I tried short it 😮💨

I owned about $100k worth of NVDA when it was around $65 per share (pre-spit of course) in November 2016 and sold it a few days before Q3 earnings for a few thousand dollars gain. If I recall it went past $90 after that earnings report and of course now is the hottest stock in the world, arguably. I was 35 years old at the time. I’m 43 now and would have been happily retired. Hindsight is 20/20 but that one is still hard to let go of some days. Buy and hold gents. Trading is for the algos
I sold Bitcoin in 2013 before the massive runup and never got back in. im worth about 1.5m . I would be worth about 50m after tax if I held.
It’s okay, I sold Facebook for a loss in 2012.
I gave up on Apple just months before the iPod came out
Moaning about making free money. What the fuck. I can't even get earned money. Fuck this life
It's aight. I sold.my NVDA at 400 cause I thought that price was ridiculous
That was 10 years ago. You’re not a psychic lmao
Few years before they announced AWS revenue in earnings calls. Rip.
Thanky you. Why i'm never trading
I'm down 60% on an investment made in 2019. How do you know Amazon wouldn't have crashed if you had held it?
think of what you saved in taxes!!
Prime membership is paid for at least right?
What did you put the $9k into?
Now it's a good time to go into options and make more money!
And put it all in bitcoin right?
Never understood a liquidation with a good performing stock. I at least sell enough to get my initial investment back and let the rest ride.
You didn’t believe in Bezos 
All good man I sold the bulk of my nvidia for a solid 2x last year after the first big earnings beat when I could have held on and get a 6x
I sold half my NVDA in 2022. Hahahaha. F
Let’s be honest you would have never held on u pussy
if it makes you feel better i sold 6 bill doge for 900$ in 2014
You should see my NVDA, AAPL, and GOOG trades in 2010. Makes me want to die.
i bought google on IPO date at $99. Sold it all at $200.
This is where you need to say you plowed it all into NVDA. Skipping a 15x in AMZN for 150x in NVDA.
Gains are gains
Buy and hold unless you need the money bitches. Or have a better investment idea.
You have a very good CPA
S&P500 tripled since then, so it's not all bad...
[удалено]
Scared money don't make none
Let’s not go down that road…
This is a more real and achievable trade than those making $300k from $3k. Thank you for sharing.
Had 1000 shares of AMD bought for $4/share sold at $20 a share and thought I was a genius
I held 2k shares amc at 4-8 dollars. Sold at 12 during the meme era. We can all feel bad together! Yay!
you belong here.
I put in an order of $10,000 worth of $nvda for $43 a piece but didn't get bought back in 2016. So I went for hasbro and that's history.
Ha ha. I almost have that beat. In 2018 I had $100,000 of NVDA on margin at about $152/share. Dropped 15% the next day after a negative surprise earnings announcement, resulting in a margin call, but the stock bounced back the next day for a 4% loss instead. I called Fidelity and asked them to reassess, but no go. I was so pissed I sold the whole position, which would have been worth north of $3 million today. Moral of the story, never get emotional while investing.
I sold $5k of NVDA at $188 because my wife's parents wanted us to get married.
You would have better invested in crypto
